I also Run Windows XP and Xandros (nice Distro isn't it?), but not Microsoft networking, I believe the problem lies in the USB part, you have to mount usb to get it to detect, it doesn't plug and play like windows does.
I'm not entirely certain thats the answer but I think it is
No. USB is Plug 'n Play in Linux.
Do you have the correct modules loaded to use the device? At the command prompt do "cat /proc/devices | grep usb". If anything is printed on the screen that means USB is working. Otherwise you will have to reconfigure the kernel. Go to
www.tldp.org and search there for help on how to configure the kernel sources.
